Self Help Books:
I've been an avid reader of Self Help books from the past couple of months. They're a really good investment of time in that they give you something worth more than what you invest in. I have learned so many things by reading books that I was not even aware of.
However, reading them requires quite a lot of time which most of us lack because of our day to day schedules and work. We are a generation that wants quick results. If you're one of those who wants to be able to read a book of 200+ pages in 10-15 minutes and want to absorb all the key points contained in it, I've found the right app for you.
Self-Help Book Summaries:
Self Help Book Summaries is the name if the app I tumbled upon recently on the Android app store while searching for apps related to self improvement. I've already finished reading summaries of 4 books and I find it to be very effective. It contains some of the most popular books.
List of Books contained in it:
- "Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- "Ego is the enemy" by Ryan Holiday
- "Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success" by Adam M. Grant
- "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie
- "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie
- "Mastery" by Robert Greene
- "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki
- "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker
- "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek
- "The 100$ Startup" by Chris Guillebeau
- "The 33 Strategies of War" by Robert Greene
- "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss
- "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene
- "The 6 Pillars of Self-Esteem" by Nathaniel Branden
- "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R Covey
- "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz
- "The Obstacle is the Way" by Ryan Holiday

- "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
- "Think Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman
- "With Winning in Mind" by Lanny Bassham
They have 22 books currently and keep updating new books every two weeks.
Features:
- As soon as you open the app, you are shown a New Quote every day. You need internet connection to open the app for this reason. Once you open it, you don't need net anymore.
- You can toggle font size between small, medium and large.
- You can toggle between Day Theme and Night Theme.
The Downsides:
It displays an advertisement every time you change the page. However, here's a hack to solve it. Once you open the app, turn off the internet connection. The app will work just fine and won't display the ads.
I found it useful and I'm sure this will help you out in self improvement and save some time too.
Cheers!
I use Blinkist, one free book every day, both in written + audio.

That sounds like an awesome idea. Everyday we could finish a book haha!
But the books are randomly given though, right?
Yes, for that we have to buy the subscription.

Wow. Great list. I like reading hard copies. I will buy some of them.
Yeah! I prefer hard copy too! Here's one more book you can add to your list. "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David J Schwartz. It has the power to change your life for the good if you apply everything that's in it.
